Wth happen to MxOResource!?

Meaning no offense to Shadow and anyone else responsible for MxO Resource, but I hate it when people let sites like these expire. For pity's sake, why?! So what if you don't have time to update it any more? It doesn't cost much to host thi...

[9.1.5] Mach mission feedback thread: "Only Human"

This isn't 1999.

Me. Well, I don't care what year it is, more the system that's employed. I only hate it being 1999 if it was 1999 last year as well. The concept is so horribly flawed that it cheapens the entire Matrix universe. It's as daft as pew-pew.

Matrix Universe · 12/12/2007 11:00:11

This isn't 1999.

[Current date] = [End of the War] + [[Morpheus' guess] - [End of the War]]*[# of iterations] + [Some time for the first two failed versions] So let's say: 2100 + (2199-2100)*6 + 50 = about 2750 at the very least . Using very conservative e...

F11 for me, as it happens. I still wonder how you manage to get such good shots, though. You must sit there hitting F12 more rapidly than is humanly possible.

Dear MXO

So, you can customise the menus depending on whether a target is hostile or friendly? Please, for the love of God, keep Details as the default for non-hostiles.
